HE'S RIGHT!

And I've called James Gunn "my parasocial enemy" in the past, but he is absolutely right here. You can't make or discover new favorite stories or characters if you just keep rehashing what is already popular/refusing anything new.

[Variety @Variety]

James Gunn responds after DC Studios is questioned for making a "Clayface" movie:

“Who tf asked for Back to the Future? Casablanca? There’s Something About Mary? Pan’s Labyrinth? Fury Road? Weapons? The Matrix? Although it may seem like it, Hollywood isn’t a place where the only way to make a movie is the public voting on what IP they want to see that they’ve seen countless times before.”

“Sometimes someone — in this case initially Mike Flanagan and then James Watkins and Hossein Amini — were inspired by a relatively little-known fictional character and crafted what I believe is a very special story around that character. I’d take that inspiration a thousand times over some writer trying to make a buck by writing a listless screenplay about a majorly popular character he or she has no passion or feel for.”

@Omahablew42 @TheBatmanSagaNW The majority of "fans" don't see artists as human people, but as "Content" factories.

Movie/TV fans, music fans, video game fans... All of those fanbases are full of entitled assholes like this.

@clawveen You find out by watching the movie yourself and forming your own opinion instead of letting others tell you what to like.

Every character to ever exist is "some writer's OC."

"is genuinely some writer's OC" MOTHERFUCKER THATS CALLED CREATING A CHARACTER

A.I. softwares use the Em Dash, semi-colons, and the Oxford Comma because they are correct grammar, and it's trying to emulate that.

STOP punishing people for using correct grammar!

we need a word that’s more romantic than “fucking” but less corny than “making love” and we need it NOW

@Pinterest This new layout that Pinterest is doing on the mobile app?

NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS! You can't even edit a section's title now without clicking in it, and trying to slide between them to your right is a NIGHTMARE! 🫩 #Pinterest #FixPinterest

[Candie 💕 @candiedwords]

@Pinterest So you've implemented MORE Purity Culture censorship? We can't search for or post things like fake blood on our own private boards! Lots of us use Pinterest for story inspiration, and not every story is PG. 🙄

[Candie 💕 @candiedwords]

Period dramas be like:

"Everyone used to sound English! Scotland? English accents! France? English accents! Russia? English accents! Spain? English accents! Italy? You better believe they all had... ENGLISH ACCENTS!"

Mr. Pope, I don't think you want MY stories put out into the world 👀...

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392

@AskPinterest What is the point of the app and sharing boards if we can't move pins between them? 🫩

[Candie 💕 @candiedwords]

@lauradixon I was just about to have Music & Pinterest Enrichment Time😭

[Candie 💕 @candiedwords]

The book community in the 2010s was about enjoying and loving fiction and the community that came with it. Now it's all Hot Takes, performative activism, people hating on things, and people pushing censorship.

MISERABLE. 🫩
